17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a simpler time, December 1941. Three young girls, bundled up in coats and scarves, are preparing to embark on an adventure. As they mount their bikes, their mother stands at the gate of their rural home, waving them off with a mix of pride and concern etched across her face. The scene is set against a backdrop of a charming country lane lined with wooden fences. The winter landscape is evident as patches of mud mingle with puddles along the path. The air is crisp and chilly, but the girls seem undeterred by the weather as they pedal away. Their hoods pulled tightly over their heads suggest that this journey might be more than just a casual ride through the countryside. Perhaps they are heading to school or running errands for their family on this frosty morning. In the distance, we catch glimpses of farm buildings and even chickens roaming freely nearby - reminders of the rural setting these girls call home. This evocative image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the resilience and determination so prevalent during wartime Britain in the 1940s. It serves as a poignant reminder that life goes on even amidst uncertainty and challenges.
